TyroleSe performers on the either, mandolin,
Alpine viola, guitar together with several
singers. There are seven women and three men
in the group, who dress in a sort OF national
costume, the women wearing black jackets and
short plaid skirts. They vocaliZe in chorus to
the accompaniment of the Zither sing quaint
songs of their own country; yodel Singly or in
quartetteS (and with very unique effect; sing
English ballads in the vernacular, ETC. The
party have good voices and sing tunefully, their
national songs and choruses being their most
effective selections, although Herr PfiSter the
male yodeler of the party, will achieve fame by
his weird performances. Nile. ViOette has so
true soprano voice that in the choTuSeS, its
sound Is that OF clear flute, soaring high above
the others. The party were evidently expecting
encOreS, nor were they disappointed everything
was repeated. 4 crowded house was well enter
tained by this clever company whose first ap-
pearance In the country may be pronounced
success. They are here through the enterprise
OF the Redpath Bureau, and busy season is an

death of Miss Lena Toler, daughter of
Mr. w. 2. Toler:
The death of Miss Lena Toler in San
Leandro rudely breaks the ties of affection.
The young lady was endeared to all who
knew her. Having lived in San Leandro
all her life, she was known to many, and
she was known but to be esteemed. For
several months she was sufferer from
sickness, which apparently resulted from a
severe cold. In spite of the most tender
care and skillful medical treatment, she
wasted away until death ended her trials.
The funeral services will take place to-
'morrow at the Roman Catholic Church,
San Leandro, and the body will be in
tered in the family plot in the Oakland
Cemetery

BETHEL UNION CHURCH.
The Members Favor Consolidation
with Fort Street by a Close Vote.

Last evening meeting of the members
the Lyceum to finally decide upon the
question of consolidation with the Fort
street Church. Mr.. T. G.. Thrum pre-
sided. After prayer by the Rev. S. E.
Bishop, the minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and approved. The Chair
man then stated-the object of the meeting.
Mr.. j. o. Carter moved that the Bethel
Union Church unite with the Fort-street
Church as one church and one congrega-
ton. He then read letter fromsMr H. NJ
Whitney, one of the members of the con-
gregatlon, against consolidation, and criti-
cized it at different points, though, as he
said, it was anything but a pleasant duty.
Looking at the matter of consolidation
from financial point of view, Mr.. Carter
was decidedly in favor of it. They re-
quired 81 900 to run the church sthe next
year, and had only pledges to the amount
of 81, 207. The new church was to cost
$4,000, and they had only about $12 900 in
pledges towards it. The trustees had been
trying to run the church upon an econom-
zeal basis. The last six months ending
Sune 18th they were in debt $3.50. How
would it be in the coming six months !?
With him the question was one of finances.
Mr.. a. d. Smith said he did not look at
the question in so dark a manner as Mr..
Carter did. What little debt there was he,
for one, was willing to assist in raising 1t.
If they found they could not build an $f8,-
900 church, let them build smaller one.
He believed in going according to their
means. He looked upon the bright side,
and if they did their parts well and trusted
in God, there was no need of a change.
Mr.. Smith gave some figures to show how
the church could be run for a year.
Rev. S. E. Bishop said the one thing re-
quired to carry on the Bethel Union
Church was unanimity. That there was
not. 1t was on that point that Mr. Oggel
decided to resign. The only condition to
carry out the work was practical and
effectual unanimity among all the mem
beers of the church. such as existed before
this question was first brought up. He
felt that they ought to fall in and unite,
yet he would be sorry to have to give up
the Bethel.
Mr. r. ]. Greene said that the should
leave the financial point, and pass on to
higher moral point of the question. 1t
was a question first and last that con-
cerned the body of Christ. Would it be
best to maintain two churches or one? 1t
was a question that rested equally with
all the members of the Congregational
body.
Mr. T. G. Thrum said that as much as
he desired oneness he did not approve of
this overture which had been laid before
them.
Mr.. Bishop moved that vote be taken.
Mr.. Carter said the chief obstacle to
carrying on the church was the lack of
funds. He knew three families that
would join Fort-street whether the ques-
ton was decided yes or no.
Messrs. A. L. Smith and E. c. Damon
were appointed tellers, and the voting was
then proceeded with. The result was;
